NANNIE M. TATE, OF MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA.

ADJUSTABLE RECEPTACLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NANNIE M. TATE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Mocksville, in the county of Davie, State of North Carolina,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in AdjustableReceptacles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in longitudinallyadjustable receptacles specially adapted for use in connection withironing boards.

An object of this invention is the provision of a receptacle such asdescribed which may be adjusted to conform to the length of any ordinaryironing board.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a device of thenature described with means for suspending the device beneath theironing board to prevent the clothes from engaging the floor andbecoming soiled.

A further object of this invention is to improve and simplify devices ofthis charac ter, rendering them comparatively simple and inexpensive tomanufacture, reliable and etlicient in use and readily operated.

lVith the above and other objects in view, this invention resides in thenovel features of construction, formations, combinations andarrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimedand illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a topplan view of my invention applied. Fig. 2 is a. side elevation thereof.Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1,the ironing board being omitted. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional viewtaken on the line 44 of Fig. 1 with the board omitted. Fig. 5- is an endView of my invention.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by similar characters ofreference throughout the several views, the numerals 10 and 11 designategenerally a pair of supports upon which rests an ironing board 12.

My improved receptacle 13 is located beneath the ironing board 12 andextends longitudinally thereof, being supported by a pair oflongitudinally adjustable telescopical rods 14 which are engaged attheir opposite ends by the said ironing board sup- Specification ofLetters Patent.

galvanized or otherwise treated to prevent any undesired rusting orinjury thereto caused by their becoming moistened.

The section 16 which is slidably located within the section 15 is formedin its opposite sides with a pair of longitudinally extending slots 17through which project the threaded projections 18, the said projectionshaving nuts thereon and being carried by the sides ofthe section 15 andpermitting of the sliding movement of the said section 16 therein and atthe same time holding the same against any undesired displacement.

A pin 19 extendsvertically from the forward edge of the bottom of thesection 15 intermediate the longitudinal edges thereof and extendsthrough a slot 20 formed in the bottom of the section 16. This pin 19 isthreaded for engagement with a nut 21 by means of which the sections 15and 16 are held against any undesired longitudinal movement with respectto each other.

Straps 22 are secured to the sides of the sections 15 and 16 as clearlyillustrated in the drawings, and are formed at their free ends withloops 23 which surround the rods 14 and retain the receptacle below theiron ing board 12 permitting the longitudinal movement of the sections15 and 16.

Obviously when the ironing board 12 is placed upon the supports 10 and11 and the opposite ends of the rods 14 placed upon the said supports ateach side of the board, the receptacle 13 will be located in spacedrelation to and beneath the ironing board in such position as to receivethe loose ends of the clothing which is being ironed, the said sections15 and 16 being adjustable so as to conform to the length of anycustomary ironing board. It will also be understood that the rods 14 areproperly adjusted before being placed upon the supports 10 and 11.

From the foregoing disclosure taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawings it will be manifest that a receptacle and suspending means foruse with ironing boards is provided which will fulfil all of thenecessary requirements of such a device.

Having thus fully described this invenfor locking the sections againstindependent tion What I claim as new and desire to promovement to retainthe receptacle in adtect by Letters Patent, is: justed condition.
